Like many people new to AppleScript, you are misinformed as to what
AppleScript is. It is not a macro recorder and is not meant to mimic mouse
clicks and such. (Although this can be done with osaxen like Sdndi's
Additions). You need to look at the dicitonary for an application. Most
applications have some level of applescriptability (I made that word up) so
what you are trying to do most likely can be automated. What app are you
trying to use?
